sofa philosopher (i.e. one who partakes in sofology) and don't take to kindly to arm chair philosophers round these parts. LOL! Just kidding! But not about the sofology stuff though... I was quite serious about that.

I hope you enjoy the forum. You are sure to engage your interests here. If you are interested in cognitive science, you might want to try the rationalists( i.e. Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz) and empiricists (i.e. Hume, Berkeley, and Locke). Very good accounts of a-priori and a-posteriori originations of knowledge. Also, classical Indian philosophy has always been illuminating in that area of philosophy as well.

Also, you may be interested in etymology (the originations of a word), oratorical semantics, and especially logic.

Welcome!

Warm welcome to you. Thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself and hope you find this forum to suit your philosophical side. Many good discussions and a great many good people that contribute.

Hope you can find your way around and we look forward to your involvement... and feel free to ask questions.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and especially the reading suggestions! And as far as Sofology is concerned, if you look at the evidence, armchairosophy is clearly a more effective model (see figure 1: recliner & drink holder).



lol

Really VideCorSpoon, what went on in your mind when you thought of that!

Vasska... You never thought about how many Nietzsche's you could fit on various pieces of furniture? LOL!

Welcome to the forums. I'm glad to have found them too! Lol@ the Nietzsches and a Kierkegaard.

VideCorSpoon ---

though I must take time to prepare my rebuttal, allow me to point out that though eternal return suggests that we are trapped, reliving ourselves over and over again, it is arguable that Nietzsche's take on the concept does not necessarily imply the recurrence of the same state within identical material beings, so that in this case...

the sum of all Nietzsche's duplicate parts are not greater than the whole of one firmly seated Nietzsche...especially if you add a TV Dinner tray upon which he can write. How many Nietzsche DOES it take (or is Kierkegaard doing all the work?) to write Thus Spake Zarathustra?

Though the axioms of this system are not yet clearly defined, I believe we are on to something. I stick to my armchair model, and I assure you, a full rebuttal will be presented here soon.



(everything aside, I literally laughed out loud at the diagram, and thats rare for me, lol)
